Systemaattiselle

Systemaattiselle is the allative singular form of the Finnish adjective systemaattinen, meaning systematic or methodical. It is used before a noun to express direction toward or benefit for a systematic approach, plan, or method, when the noun phrase is in the allative case.

In practice, systemaattiselle appears in constructions such as systemaattiselle lähestymistavalle (to a systematic approach), systemaattiselle tutkimukselle (to a systematic study), or systemaattiselle menetelmälle (to a systematic method). The form is created by adding the allative suffix -lle to the adjective stem systemaattinen, and it agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case. For plural contexts, the corresponding form is systemaattisille, as in systemaattisille lähestymistavoille or systemaattisille menetelmille.

Usage notes: systemaattiselle often signals that the activity, evaluation, or forwarding of an object is intended to be systematic and organized. It is commonly contrasted with the adverbial form systemaattisesti, which modifies verbs and describes the manner of action rather than the direction toward a noun phrase. The term fits within Finnish grammar where adjectives inflect for case and number to align with the noun they describe.
